Collaboration - Deep Learning

In groups, students in the two grade 6 classes, unpacked the Deep Learning collaboration progression chart. The groups were given one dimension of the Deep Learning collaboration progression chart to explain in simple terms to the rest of the class. The goal was for the students to familiarize themselves with the Deep Learning collaboration progression chart to be used in a self evaluation later on. After their presentations the students were asked to dig deeper and proceed by explaining with pictures and key words for each dimension of the Deep Learning collaboration progression chart. Further to this inquiry, and using a Google form, students completed a collaboration self-evaluation. At that time, students were able to self reflect and evaluate their collaboration skills. Since one of the dimensions of the Deep Learning collaboration progression chart speaks to social-emotional and intercultural skills, students are able to continue their awareness of social emotional learning.

A Parent Perspective

In addition to the video, this is what Mrs Albeitz had to say:
"I am grateful for the opportunity to attend the Parent Engagement Night at our school. Not only does it give me the chance to learn more about the new strategies and methods the teachers are using, I am now able to use the right vocabulary when talking about their school day with my kids. This enables me to ask deeper and more thoughtful questions about their learning and feelings after their school day and I personally feel it makes me a better partner for the teacher. When my child, the teacher and I are all on the same page, working actively together, that is when a stronger foundation is built for deeper learning."
